Cake in a Cup!

You'll enjoy making this Cake in a Cup in the microwave. I think it would be a fun, inexpensive party idea when hosting a small group of children as well. The extra cake mix can go home in a ziploc baggie with this recipe for revellers to try at home.

Have the children choose a microwave-safe mug for their cake. Next, dump a box of angel food cake mix and a box of any other flavour cake mix in a large ziploc bag. Zip it very well and shake it, shake it, until both are thoroughly blended.

To make your cake in a cup, put 1/3 cup of your newly-made mix into the mug. Add 3 tablespoons of water and stir well with a fork. Pop it into the microwave for one minute on high power.

Another idea you might try is Cake in a Bowl. Double your recipe and pop it into the microwave for a minute and 20 seconds. You know your cake is done if you can poke it in the center with a fork and the fork comes out without cake on it. I hope you enjoy this idea as much as we have!
